ITS Web Resources

New Student Website Provisioning

"Sample" Web Pages Created for All New Students

If you are a new student at the University of Virginia, a sample Web page has
already been created for you. You may view your sample Web page at
http://people.virginia.edu/~[your computing ID]

For instance, if your computing ID is mst3k, your Web page is viewable
at

http://people.virginia.edu/~mst3k

You can make changes to the appearance of your website by modifying the home.html file,
which is stored in the public_html directory under the
Home Directory Service. You can create more
files and add them to the site as well, linking them into your home page or accessing the
URLs directly from a browser.

Example: If user mst3k created a file called "aboutme.html"
and placed it in the /home/mst3k/public_html directory, the URL for the file would
be:

http://people.virginia.edu/mst3k/aboutme.html

More about how to access your files

Student websites, like other personal websites at UVa, are hosted on home1.virginia.edu of
the ITS Home Directory Service. The most
efficient way to access your files depends on your operating system.
